PHP mailing doesnt work

I have scripts what sends mail via php to users, like SMF forum. However, my server doesnt send any mails now. I use postfix mail server. How do i debug this issue?

Howdy,

The problem you were having with Postfix recently may be related to this, I'm not sure... the thing I'd start off with is:

  1. Restart Postfix, and verify in the mail logs that no errors are generated

  2. Try sending an email from your forum software... and when you do, check the mail logs to see if there's any sign in there that it attempted to send an email

  3. Verify in the Apache logs, $HOME/logs/error_log, that the forum software isn't generating any errors

Whatever the problem is, it's typically going to show itself in one of those 3 things above :-)
